Help with math.random script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m making a game where you press a button and a random event happens.
(just making it for practising)
The problem is that when, for example I get number 1 it plays the same number every time unless I restart. I’m wondering what would be the best method to make it random every time you click the button, rather than the game deciding the number when someone joins and keeping it.
I know I’m dumb but I’m fairly new to scripting.

local Trigger = script.Parent
local Debounce = false
local MouseClicked = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local mathRandom = math.random(1,2)
Baseplate = workspace.BetterBasePlates

function onMouseClick()

if not Debounce then
	Debounce = true
	
	if mathRandom == 1 then 
		print("1")
		Baseplate.Color = Color3.fromRGB()(255, 0, 0)
		wait(4)
		Baseplate.Color = Color3.fromRGB()(0, 255, 0)
	end
	if mathRandom == 2 then
		print("2")
		Baseplate.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 120, 0)
		wait(4)
		Baseplate.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
	end
	wait(6)
	
	Debounce = false 
end

end

MouseClicked.MouseClick:Connect(onMouseClick)

Place local mathRandom = math.random(1,2) below the onMouseClick so math.random will run every time the mouse is clicked.
It only ran once when you place it above.
